PHILIP WOO’S FORMLINE
Bundle Of Charm has been a good money spinner without winning in 20 starts this term and does come into this off back-to-back seconds from midfield or better in his past two starts over this C&D. He can go one better. Super Infinity resumed a C&D winner in Class Four before earning minor cheques in eight of nine straight runs, including a rallying third last month behind Jumbo Treasure. He remains one of the chances. Young Superstar made all off 70 over this C&D in November and has held on for fourth, second and fourth from his last three outings. He's a speed threat. Little Paradise defied a tough run to easily reel in Sea Sapphire to remain perfect from wide draws in his first two Sha Tin 1,200m starts before making inroads late for sixth to Aeris Nova after a tardy start last month as the $2.3 favourite at this level. He cannot be ignored.
TROUBLE IN RUNNING
MODULECONSTRUCTION (H127) shifted out abruptly at the start and made heavy contact with a runner - Race 746.
CELESTIAL HERO (K363) near the 300M was steadied when disappointed for clear running. Between the 300M and the 200M was then held up for clear running when improving into a narrow run - Race 775.
YOUNG SUPERSTAR (J400) was obliged to race wide and without cover for the majority of the event when unable to cross runners to its inside in the early stages - Race 806.
SUPER INFINITY (J320) jumped only fairly. Approaching the 800M was steadied to avoid a runner when racing keenly. Approaching the 300M had difficulty obtaining clear running when positioned behind a runner - Race 775.
LITTLE PARADISE (K246) after the event rider stated that his mount bounded on jumping and as a result lost ground. Shortly after the start his mount was then steadied when crowded. Approaching the turn near the 900M the horse was racing keenly, got its head up when being steadied to avoid a runner, resulting in the horse shifting out and being steadied to avoid another runner. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 746.
LUCKY PLANET (H235) after the event rider stated that his mount was pressured in the early stages and gave ground in the Home Straight. He added the horse may not have appreciated racing on the All Weather surface. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings. Performance was considered disappointing as compared to its previous race starts. Has since performed to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and passed an official vet exam - Race 765.
NEZHA (K494) jumped only fairly - Race 782.
TIER FLY (K311) trainer advised that from a wide barrier he had instructed rider to ride the horse in a conservative manner in the early stages - Race 775.
MATTERS MOST (K154) in the middle stages raced keenly and near the 700M was steadied to avoid a runner. After the event rider could offer no excuse for his mount's failure to run on in the Home Straight. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 806.
ONE MAN SHOW (K409) when being shifted in to obtain cover approaching the 900M raced keenly and was steadied to avoid a runner for some distance thereafter - Race 775.
